Some con said I was doing it wrong, laughed at me, and stated that I was no good in math.
Then after I pointed out how he was wrong and I was right, he admitted his mistake, but then today I find out the question where he admitted he was wrong has been deleted.
Do you think that's a coincidence or do you think the guy reported the question for deletion so I wouldn't embarass him with over and over again?

"yep, I did that too fast. I admit it. all the change did was raise ALL VALUES BY ABOUT 0.2 %. "

BY THE WAY THE 0.2 REMARK WAS WRONG TOO.

"dont you just love proving people wrong."
Also if I did dont you think I would have reported the OTHER 200 times you posted the THE SAME THING. Interesting that you are so quick to say I was wrong when I admit it yet you continue to stand by your little experiment when any economist would and have laughed in your face. your funny. "dont you love proving cons wrong" when the whole thing was destorted away from the fact that your ORIGINAL POINT IS INVALED AND WRONG.

Dont feel too bad. I had the same thing happen to me (Im conservative) after I crushed a liberal in a debate. The next day I had been reported and the question removed.
Gee what a shock.

If he didn't report you, someone else probably did for repeatedly posting questions about this. Sorry, but your original point is now totally moot, and you're losing credibility the longer you hang on to this. Let it go.
I'm conservative and I've been reported, blocked, etc by those I've crushed as well. Happens all the time around here. Move on.

I remember him saying you calculated it wrong.
I complemented you on your research and agreed with the calculations in general although I didnt really do the math but just gave your numbers a once over.
I just didnt quite agree with how you were applying it to its conclusion.
